| Nowadays if there is a need to deal with directories and files, there is .NET, isn't it? Well, some companies have decided against .NET, so there is still the need for a .NET-free solution to this. This is what the WinFile class is designed for. | Examples are `GetPID` and `KillPID`. |

| But there is more to say to this: try to get a DirectoryInfo for a directory with, say, 100,000 files.

They perform very similar tasks but with very different parameters and results, so they were separated. |

Overview
This class offers methods that return the same result under Windows, Linux (without the PI) and Mac OS.
Examples are GetPID and KillPID.
Exceptions are the functions ShellExecute (Linux/Mac only) and WinExecute (Windows only). They perform very similar tasks but with very different parameters and results, so they were separated.
